Oh Marvel Ultimate Alliance the second, I really wanted to like you. You had so much potential what with the whole Civil War thing. But that’s what it boils down to: potential. While I played I couldn’t help but think of the game I could have been playing. Sure, this gameplay has worked in the [...]
Okay folks, if you’ll just indulge me for a second here I’d like to address voice over artists in general and Eliza Dushku specifically: if you’re just going to phone it in, do us all a favour and DON’T. Better yet, if you don’t respect the medium enough to bring your A-game, turn down the [...]
“Aye, give us a hand.”
Smoke billows from Francis Wakefield’s pipe as he looks out over the rolling hills of the Scottish Highlands; the year is 1864 the and fortune-hunting Englishman finds himself at the beginning of an occult-themed adventure. Children from the nearby village have gone missing and Wakefield’s companion, Fergus Duff, believes he knows [...]
When choosing new release DVD to rate and write about can be quite difficult, especially when the selection isn’t really all that hot. Sure the big release was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but you all know my thoughts about it when I saw it in theaters, so that one was a pass. So what was there? [...]
Not five minutes into the game and I was already riding flying dinosaurs and doing battle with zombies and mutants (of my own creation) with a variety of weapons, both conventional and unconventional. When things got too heavy I hopped in my trusty time machine and headed back to medieval times.
I won’t mince words; I know that some people hate the Ultimate Marvel universe. For the most part, I could take it or leave it (I’m leaning toward the latter in the case of Ultimates vol. 3 and Ultimatum), but I’ve always absolutely adored Mark Millar’s Ultimates vol. 1 and 2. It surprises most people [...]
If you’re a Beatles fan there’s no need to keep reading this article. You already suspect what I’m going to tell you. Rockband’s newest iteration is quite frankly a masterpiece. The experience almost transcends the game that presents it. At times it feels like the game is something that is happening to you, not something [...]
A little bit about me is in order here before I begin: I’m a huge Batman fan. I suppose, then, that it goes without saying that I can’t help but be a little biased in a review of a Batman game. But I can also recognize a terrible fucking Batman game. And brother, this ain’t [...]
A while ago I brought some news about a secret project in the works that could possibly be the Halo movie because of all the viral advertising that hit different cities within the U.S. As more information was revealed to the public it looked more and more that this was not going to be the [...]
When Watchmen hit theatres earlier this year, I was really excited. I mean, this was a flick I’d been waiting for for most of my life. After taking it in, though, I was left lukewarm on the whole thing. So it was with only moderate interest that I checked out Watchmen: Director’s Cut on [...]
Heroes: Chapter 5: Tabula Rasa
Peter/Hiro/Emma:
After fainting in Peter’s living room last week, everybody’s favorite paramedic brings his buddy Hiro to the hospital. When Hiro wakes up he thanks Peter and tells him that now when he’s jumping through time that he is brought where he needs to go, but ever since he learned how to [...]
Every once in a while, a girl’s got to go back to her roots. Oh, sure, I’m gung-ho over Blackest Night and I always have at least one or two indie comics or comics from smaller publishing companies every week, but once upon a time, I was a one comic company kind of gal. Every [...]
You would think that the year Captain America gets to be reborn would be a good time for Marvel’s red, white, and blue avenger. Yet some fans just won’t let it happen. First there was the Rob Liefield vs. Yellow Hat Guy incident. If you missed that one some douche bag known [...]
Since announcing that an almost unknown Australian actor would be playing the title role in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, Marvel Studios has added some pretty significant players to co-star with Tom Hiddleston. First Natalie Portman was revealed to be playing Jane Foster, Thor’s mortal love interest, and now Variety is reporting that Anthony Hopkins will [...]
I’m trying out a new column here at eatsleepgeek called After the Fact. I’ve consistently read comics of some sort for the last 25 years. In that time I’ve gone through different phases, bought into fads, gone against the grain of what was popular, and had a commitment to the medium that was anywhere from [...]
After taking a look at Marron’s highly ambitious 5 part geek Halloween Costume blow out, I thought about how awesome multi-part posts are and decided to do one myself. As I’m sure you know the first month of college and NFL seasons are in the books, and the CFL is getting ready for Canada’s [...]
Well here it is better late then never I guess, so since it’s so late I’m going to talk about some of the stuff I have read in the last couple of weeks. This should have been up sooner but between working up north and packing all of my meagre belongings up for the move [...]
I don’t think that anyone was expecting this.
This November, Playboy is going to be issuing a very special issue commemorating the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons and the bombshell that is concealing her assets behind the white glossy chair is none other that the ravishing blue haired wife of Homer J. Simpson.
No more will you [...]
